The Democrat party IS the Socialist Party ever since the radicals took it over 40 years ago.
The Republican Party is the RINO party as the political “middle” has been ever shifting Left. Not by popular support but by infiltration of both parties by Lefty candidates.
There is no UPSIDE to voting for someone “conservative” with a D next to his name. He will not have any power within Congress. No oversight. Just a “vote” that he owes to the majority whip.
The control of Congress is held by the majority party. Democrats realize this and will play to the middle to keep control. They’ve also turned some politicians after losing an election.
We should be working to get the DINOs conservatives to change party affliation to Republican after they are elected as Democrats. Alternatively, after the 2008 election, ALL conservatives should abruptly change party affiliation to a new third party and abandon the Republican Party to the Democrat insiders who dilute it. Wait until after the election to avoid having RINOs run against you in the fall and to spend the party’s money that you rightly collected for them.
Fear and lack of understanding by most of the true reason behind the creation of two political parties prevents this from happening.

There is no such thing as a conservative Democrat. Any Democrat who does not bow to the party leadership will be disciplined.
